Aging leadership is a challenge across industry segments as the average business owner is 50 years old. Executives in the baby boom generation are now between 57 and 75 years old, and many do not have succession plans to guarantee the survival of the businesses they worked so hard to build.

The sudden loss of leadership often throws organizations into a downward spiral with no clear direction, loss of critical employees and plummeting revenues as once-loyal customers struggle to connect to the new regime. In this guide, we discuss how you can ensure your legacy with a systematic succession plan.

In this guide, we discuss manufacturing metrics that matter.
